Faster than a Kiss 3, Dragon's Fiance 4, Ciuman Dewa 9 (Elex Media 28 March 2012 manga) [UPDATED]

Update: No longer "just a list" :p

Ryuu no Hanawazurai © Kusakawa Nari/Hakusensha [First serialized in LaLa]. Published in Indonesia as Dragon's Fiancé by Elex Media

Kwan's condition improves, but not enough to allow Shakuya's fiancé to move (much less dance a celebratory jig). Shakuya is so worried about his recovery that Kwan... is ‘forced’ to kiss her!

Meanwhile, our anxious dragon's other—first—fiancé Lushin suffers from sudden pains. Whether these stem from heartache or something else remains to be seen, but for sure, they bode...

Lushin recovering his memories? :P

For those of you who followed Dragon's Fiancé in HanaLaLa, this fourth volume compiles chapters 15 through 20, which means you're safe if you've read all the way till HanaLaLa's last issue (Indonesian serialization only reached up to chapter 26, bound in volume 5).

As for the top DO WANT!, a "Devil"’s whisker's vote more than Dragon's Fiancé 4—
